• Rotary cutting tool or jigsaw
• Silicone-based marine sealant (optional)
Mounting Considerations
• The stereo must be mounted on a flat surface.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open
airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, it must be mounted within 45 degrees
below or 15 degrees above the horizontal plane.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, you should install any connected cables
with a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable and
avoid damage to the stereo.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it must be
mounted in a location far above the waterline, where it is not
submerged.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it should be
mounted in a location where it cannot be damaged by docks,
pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo
should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a
compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. There is
only a small amount of clearance between the case and the
mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Be careful when installing the stereo in an aluminum boat or a
boat with a conductive hull, if you require the electrical system to
be isolated from the boat hull.
Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when fastening
the stereo to the mounting surface. Grease or other lubricants
can cause damage to the stereo housing.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the
mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with
the mounting considerations.
1Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting
location.
2Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
3Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a
hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to
prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
4Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along
the inside of the dashed line on the template.
5Place the stereo in the cutout À to test the fit.

Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both
power wires. You should connect the yellow power wire directly
to the battery. This provides power to the stereo and a constant
trickle-power standby feed.
You should connect the red signal wire to the same battery
through the ignition or another manual switch to turn the stereo
on and off. If you are not routing the red wire through the ignition
or another manual switch, you can connect the red wire to the
yellow wire, and connect them both to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
You must connect the power wire to the battery through a 15 A
fuse or a 15 A circuit breaker.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground
wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) wire. For extensions longer than
1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire. If it is necessary to
extend the red wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) wire.
1Route the yellow power À, red signal Á, and black ground Â
wires to the battery, and route the wiring-harness plug to the
stereo.
Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until all of the
bare wire connections have been made.
2Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3Complete an action:
• If you are routing the red wire through the ignition or
another manual switch Ã, connect the red signal wire to
the ignition or switch, install a 15 A fuse Ä on the yellow
wire as close to the battery as possible, and connect the
yellow wire to the positive (+) battery terminal.
• If you are not routing the red wire through the ignition or
switch, connect the red wire to the yellow wire, install a
15 A fuse as close to the battery as possible, and connect
both wires to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Speaker Zones
You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. This
enables you to control the audio level of the zones individually.
For example, you could make the audio quieter in the cabin and
louder on deck.
Up to two pairs of speakers can be connected per channel of
each zone, in parallel. A zone can support no more than four
speakers using the on-board amplifier.
Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the on-board amplifier. To use
the RCA line outputs and the RCA subwoofer outputs for zones
1 and 2, you must connect external amplifiers.
Zones 3 and 4 are available as line-level outputs only. To use
the RCA line outputs and the RCA subwoofer outputs for zones
3 and 4, you must connect external amplifiers.
You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, subwoofer level,
subwoofer frequency, and name for each zone.

Configuring an Optional Wired Remote
NOTICE
The stereo is configured by default to work with a NMEA 2000
network, and the NRX POWER option should be enabled only
when an optional remote is connected directly to the stereo.
Enabling this option when the stereo is connected to a NMEA
2000 network may damage other devices on the NMEA 2000
network.
If you connect an optional wired NRX remote directly to the
stereo, and not through a NMEA 2000 network , additional
configuration is needed.
1Select > > NMEA.
2Select an option:
• If you connected both your stereo and your optional wired
remote to a NMEA 2000 network, make sure the NRX
POWER option is not selected. This enables the optional
remote to receive power from the NMEA 2000 network.
• If you connected the optional wired remote directly to the
stereo through the NMEA 2000 connector, select the NRX
POWER option. This enables the stereo to supply power
to the optional remote.
FUSION PartyBus Networking
The FUSION PartyBus networking feature allows you to connect
multiple compatible stereos and zone stereos together on a
network, using a combination of wired or wireless connections.
A FUSION PartyBus device connected to the network can
stream sources from and control media playback on another
FUSION PartyBus device connected to the network.
You can connect up to eight FUSION PartyBus devices on a
network.
4 Apollo RA770 Installation Instructions
DRAFT
In the image above, a Apollo RA770 stereo À connects to a
wireless router Á and to two Apollo SRX400 zone stereos Â.
You can connect a FUSION PartyBus zone stereo to a single
speaker zone Ã. You can connect a FUSION PartyBus stereo to
multiple speaker zones Ä to cover a larger area.
FUSION PartyBus devices connected to the network can stream
media from and control media playback on other devices on the
network, but cannot control the volume of other devices on the
network. You can adjust the volume of speakers or speaker
zones connected to the stereo only.
Wired Networking Considerations
When you are planning your network installation, observe the
following considerations for all wired connections.
• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless
connections. When planning your network, you should use
network cables to connect FUSION PartyBus devices to the
network when possible.
• You must connect devices using standard Cat5e or Cat6
network cables with RJ45 connectors.
• You can use one network cable to directly connect two
compatible devices.
• You may need to use wired network switches and wired or
wireless network routers when you connect more than two
compatible stereos to a network.
• If you install a router on the network, it should be configured
to be the DHCP server by default. See your router
instructions for more information.
• If you do not install a router on the network, you must
configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP
server.
Wired Network Example for Direct Connections
You must configure one FUSION PartyBus device as a DCHP
server when connecting two devices together directly.

Wireless Networking Considerations
When you are planning your network, observe the following
considerations for all wireless connections.
• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless
connections. You should plan your network to use network
cables, but if it is not possible, FUSION PartyBus devices are
Wi‑Fi® compatible. You can connect them to wireless routers
or access points.
• You can configure a FUSION PartyBus device as a wireless
access point, so you can connect devices within wireless
range.
• If you install a wireless router on the network, it should be
configured to be the DHCP server by default. See your
wireless router instructions for more information.
• If you do not install a router or wireless router on the network,
you must configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the
DHCP server.
• You can configure any FUSION PartyBus device on the wired
network to be a wireless access point, even if you install a
wireless router or additional wireless access points on the
network. This would be useful to allow access to devices in
range of the stereo but not in range of the other wireless
access points.
• If you connect a FUSION PartyBus device to the network
wirelessly, you cannot connect any additional wired FUSION
PartyBus devices to that device.
• You can connect a smartphone to the wireless network to
control any stereo on the network using the FUSION-Link™
app.

Constructing a Network
You should have a basic understanding of networking when
building a network for FUSION PartyBus devices.
These instructions guide you through the basics of building and
configuring a network, and should apply to most situations. If
you need to perform advanced networking tasks, such as
assigning static IP addresses to devices on the network or
configuring advanced settings on a connected router, you may
need to consult a networking professional.
1Determine the installation location of the FUSION PartyBus
devices you want to connect to the network.
NOTE: Wired connections are more reliable than wireless
connections. When planning your network, you should run
network cables instead of using wireless connections when
possible.
2Determine the installation location of any needed network
routers or switches.
3Route Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to the installation
locations of the stereos, switches, and router.
4Connect the network cables to the stereos, switches, and
router.
NOTICE
Do not completely install the stereos yet. You should test the
network before you install the stereos.
5Turn on all devices connected to the network, including
wireless devices.
6Select an option:
• If you are not using a network router (wired or wireless),
configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP
server (Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as the
DHCP Server, page 6). All other stereos should use
their default configuration (automatic IP).
• If you are using a network router (wired or wireless),
consult the documentation provided with your router to
configure the router as the DHCP server, if necessary. All
stereos should use their default configuration (automatic
IP).
7Configure a stereo as a wireless access point, if necessary
(Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access
Point, page 6).
8Configure a FUSION PartyBus stereo or zone stereo to
connect to a wireless access point or router, if necessary
(Connecting the FUSION PartyBus Device to a Wireless
Access Point, page 6).
